The West has developed a vision of man, from analysis of the parts that make up your physical body (sthula sharira), which called Anatomy.From this vision, he began to research the physiological and biomechanical functioning of the human body, divided into systems and specific muscles.

The anatomy has evolved since the early works of Vesalius, and during the twentieth century, with the confrontation of two major medical systems, Indian and Chinese began to develop a more comprehensive and holistic understanding that the physical body is part of a Overall, energy, emotional and mental, and that all interact to create complete human being.

Within this evolution, understanding the structure and function of our physical body holistically is the great contribution that the West has to do. Thus, this workshop Yoga Anatomy applied to the student does not lead to a focus on purely anatomical criteria, but instead takes us to another point of view that harmoniously integrates traditional knowledge with the aim of introducing the study Anatomy, commenting on its history, basic concepts, analysis of posture and orientation literature for a study program and at the same time, analyzing aspects of yoga practice in their anatomical context, the main breathing, postures and closures of Power Yoga.
